We were amazed by the Wonder Water Summer Program at the Australia’s Museum of the Sea. It’s just too much fun! This program includes four themes: crafts, water play, LEGO, and light and shadow. Playing with kids inside for a whole day is not enough.
The price is amazing—$25 for adults, $15 for children, and free for children under 3. They even have annual passes, which are incredibly enjoyable. Just think about how much money you spend at kids’ cafes for a few hours. You won’t get bored here for a whole day.
Apart from this Summer Program, the Maritime Museum itself has a lot of interesting things to see, suitable for a wide range of ages.
WonderWater Summer Program
- Crafts: You can make headgear, badges (pressed on-site), and octopuses. There’s a wide variety of craft materials, a paradise for little girls. Looking at what the children create is truly impressive.
- Water Play: No need to say much about this. Children under 5 can play all day. Remember to bring a change of clothes.
- LEGO: Throw the older kids in, and parents can sleep on the side. The LEGO pieces are sorted by color. Some displays show pre-assembled marine animals that you can replicate or get creative with. In short, it’s a paradise for LEGO enthusiasts, regardless of age—0 to 99!
- Light and Shadow: It’s pitch black inside with an octopus theme. Children can step on crab shapes on the floor as if playing a game. They can also create their own octopus and project it onto the screen. There are many soft cushions on the floor; we saw many parents lying down, relaxing and using their phones. There are many great photo spots inside with cute marine animal toy headgear.
Outside, there’s a cafe. Have lunch when tired, and continue in the afternoon. You can really spend a whole day here without getting bored.
This Wonder Water Summer Program ends on February 4th. Make sure to check it out! It’s super worth it!
